US 2017/0319011 A1 · Fork Friend

Abstract

The Fork Friend is a domestic utensil designed to remove hot food from roasting forks without damaging the food, and minimize the risk of being burned during the removal of hot food. The Fork Friend is comprised of a flat, elongated rectangular shaped strap of metal, or thin, rigid, heat-resistant material, with notches cut and spaced so as to fit over the top of the tines on a roasting fork. By positioning the Fork Friend over the tines of the roasting fork and behind the food, the operator slides the Fork Friend along the tines, toward the end of the roasting fork, dislodging the food. The Fork Friend is unique in that it is an independent utensil which offers the controlled and safe removal of hot food from various styles, sizes, and shapes of roasting forks.
